I doubt you'd be able to close the middle eye unless you relocate the rad, but it would be hella funny and cool to see a three eyed Miata. We gotta see more pointless and funny car mods, that's what we're missing.
These came from my old engine which made low compression. (~60-75 psi) I'm thinking these are trash, especially the housing, but idk... opinions would be appreciated. I can also easily catch my fingernail on both of these irons. My other housing and front iron were in pretty good shape so that's why they're not here.
Recently dropped a "new" engine in my car, an original non-rebuilt s5 13b with ~100k miles. Front rotor seems to be slightly low on compression, do I send it and keep driving or maybe plan a rebuild soon? It drives fine, cold/hot starts no issues. So weird... my old engine also had a compression disparity like this.

Need another mint 12a rotor and housing for your rebuild?
I think I'm ready for another 10 mile trip! Packed extra stuff so I don't get stranded.
I recently put this "new" engine in my car. My previous engine had all the emissions stuff deleted, and I didn't have this hose. The car barely runs with it open like this because it's a huge vacuum leak. Is it supposed to go to one of the two areas I circled? Any help is appreciated.
Mint 12a rotor. Should I use it?
(1991 S5 NA) Engine had low compression, ~60 psi on rear rotor, a bit better on the front at ~75 psi. Replaced everything else I could before pulling it but nothing really made it run better. Honestly thought this would be harder, but me and my buddy did this in about 5 hours and I'm pretty proud of that for a first time. Also the oil had a very strong smell of fuel and didn't have the lubricity it should. I heard that could be failed oil control rings but I may be wrong and would like to know.
I kinda dig the white and blue, but what do you guys think?
Bought this a few months ago, found out it has 60-70 psi of compression, so I saved up some money for a rebuild... and then bought a new exhaust system instead. Priorities, right?
I think I know which one is misfiring now. The second one also has low-ish compression. (50-60psi) I got new coils, plugs, and wires and it still misfires, any ideas? The "good" rotor only makes about 75-80 psi of compression so I know it needs a rebuild soon, just trying to keep it running a bit longer though.
